+Create a distance matrix from a numeric Metadata column
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Create a distance matrix from a numeric metadata column. The Euclidean
+distance is computed between each pair of samples or features in the
+column.  Tip: the distance matrix produced by this method can be used as
+input to the Mantel test available in `q2-diversity`.
+
+Parameters
